MSO Cache (Office 2007)

[E. Barry Bruyea]

I recently installed Office 2007 and noticed today that there is an
"MSO Cache" with 700meg sitting there. Can these files be
uninstalled?

Hi Barry,

The \MSOCache folder is a mandatory part of MS Office 2007. The installation and repair of Office is based on that folder. If you
remove it the next time that Office tries to apply an update or repair something it will look for the folder and need to rebuild it
if it's missing.

Thanks for the info. I wouldn't have wiped it without checking in any
case.
